I stayed this hotel for a week in 2011. It was reasonably priced and clean with internet connection. It is close to Apgujung area, but not a walking distance to anywhere, Kangnam station or KOEX. if you are new to Seoul and not a taxi or bus savvy, this is not the place for you.

My partner and I stayed at this business hotel for 5 nights. The hotel is situated close to Apgujeong station, about a straight 10 minute walk from exit #3. Easy to find. Hotel is on the left side. We booked a standard double through Agoda for about $80ish per night.
Room - clean, wall-mounted television (watch out for the porn channel), comfortable bed (harder than usual but I prefer this), bidet toilet, non-steamed mirror, good shower. Bring your own shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste as these items are only provided upon payment. In-room wifi connection was fast and never cut out. LAN cable is also provided.
Location - close to pubs, popular club "Annex", convenience stores, bakeries (love paris baguette), 24-7 cafes, restaurants (including korean bbq), 'rodeo street' and plastic surgery clinics. The hotel is located a few train stops away from all the hustle and bustle of Seoul.
Staff - most spoke english well, helpful, attentive and professional.
I stayed here for 5 nights for business trip. The room is small but very clean. The price is good and lots of pubs and restaurants around the area.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon for 3 weeks. I would recommend you request an upper level (we stayed on the 6th floor) because it is a lot more quiet. There is a popular club in the annex of this hotel building and can get a little noisy and busier on the weekends as a result so to be on the safe side a higher floor would steer you clear of any noise and nuisances. Our stay was very comfortable and was like a home away from home. The staff were friendly, our room was very clean and free of any bedbugs (which I'm anal about), had a bidet in the bathroom, everything was controlled electronically by a touch pad screen near the bed, be careful of free adult channels on the tv if traveling with kids, good location to get taxis and for restaurants/shopping, free internet cord in room, ask for special outlet plugs if traveling from outside of asia (we came from the U.S), our pkg didn't include free breakfast but they do offer buffet style breakfast downstairs which is decent. Overall, we were very pleased and satisfied and had an awesome time in Seoul. I recommend taking advantage of the tour packages available in the lobby of the hotel.
I'd read some bad reviews about this hotel but thankfully the more recent ones were positive so I decided to give it a go. I wasn't disappointed. It was about a 10 minute walk from Apgujeong subway station, straight up the street from exit 3. No worries about having to find a non-existent signpost for a side street as it's clearly visible on the left hand side just before the first major junction.
The reception was marble, looking respectable and clean. Friendly and English speaking staff made checking in easy. I had a double room and the bed was the most comfortable I've had in a hotel. The room was clean and of a decent size, equipped with a large, wall-mounted TV. Oddly though the shower room was fitted with a window/blind combination rather than a dividing wall so if the blind is not pulled down anybody in the bedroom can see what happens in the bathroom. Great for those with small children and for those who don't want to miss a minute of a sporting event!
It's about a 5/10 minute taxi ride to Gangnam metro station, costing between 4 and 5000 won.
I didn't see any of the seedy goings on that were referred to in an earlier post, but if it is true then at least the place is well-known to taxi drivers. I had no problem in taking a taxi to the hotel from Gangnam.
Services are nice, but customers have to pay extra more to have breakfast(around 13000won)
Though people there don't speak english very well, they'll try to understand what you want:)
